http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2018-01-17#1772209 << yeah so from my research, Weste is not only just one of the guys that worked on it. The dude was the project leader for the entire NS prog. here's a reference doc for the university of adelaide |
| 15:52 |
crtdaydreams |
the guy's been around the block more than once, he also co-founded the company that implemented the first commertial wifi chip |
| 15:54 |
crtdaydreams |
he's currently on advisory boards for several companies |
| 15:54 |
crtdaydreams |
no public website or email address anywhere |
| 15:57 |
crtdaydreams |
I presume he's going to be rather tight-lipped |
| 15:59 |
asciilifeform |
crtdaydreams: what were you hoping to get outta him ? supposing he even has sumthing like intact brain at all at this pt |
| 16:00 |
crtdaydreams |
he might have an old paperback manual for NS (if such a thing ever existed) |

I'm fully aware of dead-end for any kind of sauce |
| 16:01 |
crtdaydreams |
if he's got any hardcopy symbolics docs, chine nual etc. rarities |
| 16:02 |
crtdaydreams |
but surely seeing if guy wrote the thing he'd have a manual for it |
| 16:02 |
asciilifeform |
crtdaydreams: the paper docs for the base softs aint rare ( asciilifeform has'em ) and in fact exist on the ubiquitous genera cd |
| 16:02 |
asciilifeform |
can't recall if ns doc is there ( suppose it is, what good it will do ? ) |

| 16:05 |
crtdaydreams |
at the very least give insight to the use of NS "as is" |

http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/pest/2023-12-28#1032230 << I don't think he's head that way, still seems like he's actively involved in vlsi design in one way or another, I don't think his meat cpu has carked it |
